Figure 3 Mean plasticity (±1SE) in nine traitsafter 10 years Climate Change
manipulations (CC; dry -30% rainfall; wet +30%; control ambient
rainfall) in two sites (SA semi-arid, M Mediterranean). Plasticity was
quantified as Coefficient of Variation (CV) across plants grown in five
water levels in the greenhouse and descending from N=40 genotypes per
site and CC manipulation (except d13C carbon isotopes: N=14).
Significant CC effects indicate evolutionary divergence in plasticity
due to climate manipulations (full statistics in Table 3). Note the
different y-scaling for visualization. Plasticity for germination
fraction was not assessed as differential water levels were not yet
applied during germination. (*p<0.05, **p<0.01,
***p<0.001)
